Mother of all conception months Graduates

Molly i'm due a smear test and i was told to get one post-birth but much further along than 6 weeks. I wonder if that's a bit too soon to be poking about a your cervix.

Also after giving birth i'm pretty sure a smear test although embarassing and uncomfortable will be a walk in the park

 

[molly85]

i know but its the eugh really do you have to poke that there? Birth you are deffinatly not focussed on the event but with a smear its you the nurse/doctor and and the speculum yuck nothing else noother noise. i had thethrilling experience asa student of watching them, i was cringing for the ladies

 

[madcatwoman]

i bloody hate smears with a passion, so very embarrassing, i think i'll find birth less embarrassing than a smear for some reason.

im due one too, but i'll be waiting a few months after the birth for mine.

Morning ladies, hope you are well. I am exhausted am working 7 days a week at the moment and am starting to get a bit fed up of it only have until 29th and then I get a day off woohoo.
This anterior placenta is really irritating me hardly feel baby at all, and woke up at 4 in the morning panicking so had to put the doppler on my tummy but could hardly hear anything as one of the earphones has broken, hubby was not best pleased when I told him what I was up to but it is scary not being able to feel any movement.

 

[madcatwoman]

how are all your bumps looking...vbaby,peanut,madly..?
are we all looking a similar size?
im not noticing a huge difference from recent photos, only a very tiny change.
26+4

that must be horrible not being able to feel or see any kicks. when mine get going my tummy wobbles from side to side, i cant imagine being nearly 27 weeks and still not feeling anything.
do you have headphones off an ipod or something, they should fit...mine do!?

Anterior placentas really rubbish aren't they. I'm the same i actually use my doppler more now that i'm further on than i did when i was 12 weeks. It's my only reasurrance that my little man is still wiggling about in there.

Madcat your bump is lovely Mine is starting to change a little, think the jellybean must be having a growth/fattening spurt in there!

 

[madcatwoman]

well for comparison,
from L-R is 20wks, 25+1, 26+4....

i think the maybe the shape has changed a bit more than size...what do you think?

 

[vbaby3]

Aww madcat,your bump is coming on lovely,its roundy and cute!!
I must takle a pic of mine,not sure i've seen a big difference in last few wks either.

gil z i had a giggle at the way you do your shopping list!i'm exactly the same!
dh thinks i'm a freak!!I am the queen of lists,and do several different drafts too!!

Molly I think they wait 3 months before doing a smear,give your cervix a chance to heal.
I was meant to go for a colposcopy in december,and conveniently forgot!Trying to put it off for another month or so.If there's something wrong i don't wanna have to worry when nothing can be done til baba is born!
Plus i'm a little scared getting it done could start me into early labour or something.

Sorry some of you are feeling sick,and depressed
January is the most depressing month,at the best of times.
Peanut,you do need some time out for yourself,tho I should practice what I preach,I never get out without my kids.
Have made a resolution with myself though that once this lo is a couple months old that i go out with my girlfriends,even just once every month or so,for something to eat and maybe a few drinks.
I do get out with dh now and again,but for some reason girls nights out only happen 2 or 3 times a yr!!So really gonna change that this time!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Wow madcat you're really developing! I'v not done a bump pic in an age. Might go a do one now. I don't think I'm changing that much at the moment, it all came so early this time.

Molly I agree with Gilz, smears are not recommended before 12 weeks. At 6 weeks many women are still bleeding which will only lead to an unclear result and a repeat being needed, not to mention all your anxiety of it being something serious!

I've done a section of my training this morning. Also got my result from my last assessment which was really good so I'm happy about that! I MUST do some policy work today...

 

[madcatwoman]

yes lets see your bumps, im sure we are getting bigger but we just dont notice it so much anymore.

just been to tescos, i wont tell you what ive eaten. bumped into the wife of Dhs friend there (he used to go to school with her). another one whos bitter about me being pregnant btw. Walking up to each other, she avoids eye contact until i smile and say "hi". so she says "hi, how are you", so i said "im good, getting heavier", shes says nothing but looks at her little boy and says "a while since you have seen him"(so i replied) and then she said, "well, better get going".
all the status DH puts on his face book- she comments on, but any todo with me or the baby she wont say anything, and hasnt congratulated us either.(yet we did with her little boy, and know for a fact shes about 2 months pregnant again after a loss).


im so popular! lol

 

[babybefore30]

Madcat you are carrying just like me - nice and round, it is nice to see as everyone keeps telling me how huge I am!!! Will try and post a picture later.

 

[madcatwoman]

yeh get a piccie up so we can see and compair. this is actually the roundest its been. i had an uncomfortable night last night,bump was really achy, and when i got up i thought something was different, felt bigger, or different, so i thinkhas moved to a different position, hence a rounder bump today.

 

[molly85]

lovely bump.

maybe she meant book one. might tre\t myself to that then for my 26th birthday ewww.

Jeez more clothes have arrived going to have to go through what i like and dnt then maybe take them to a cahrity shop. not sure i'd want to sell on ebay its to complicated

 

[PeanutBean]

Here arw bump pics. First is 4th December, second is today.

 

[PeanutBean]

Oh I do seem a bit bigger. At least I stick out more than my giant boobs now. And that is also bump encased in tight sexy tubigrip.

 

[pinkclaire]

Back to the hubbys spending money at food shopping, I once sent my DH out for milk and he came back with £100 worth of crap so h is now banned!

But I do the aisle thing as well but then I know I'm particular!

Lovely bump madcat, I need to do a new one!

Peanut hows work going today?

I've got an appointment after work with James' nursery so I'm hoping I can resolve some of my grievences!

I was meant to have my smear at my 6 week after James, but I had signs of infection so they didnt do it, I eventually got round to doing it and got it done the month I feel pregnant Well it came up abnormal, I asked the doctor if that was because of pregnancy and he said no so I have to have it redone at my 6 week check this time, great

 

[pinkclaire]

Nice bump peanut xx

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I hardly have any bump Isn't it something about first pregnancies though? That you don't show until later? I know baby is in there, lol, cause I've felt flutters I wonder if it will all just bump out overnight

 

[molly85]

eugh how mean of them claire, why again so soon?
